Game Day Thread 2023 OFFICIAL WEEK 15 GAME THREAD - NE vs KC

[Fubby]

Dugger has given up. Not the first time I’ve seen him jogging around and missing tackles.

 

[festy1986]

So far. So good.

 

[holyredeemer]

They’re just not good.

To me we’re talking about two different things. You can lack talent and play disciplined football. Lacking talent and not playing disciplined football is the double whammy of suck. Flags all over the place, sloppy tackles, receivers breaking free on drag routes and busted coverage. Oof.

 

[VectorPrime]

This is not the Chiefs team of 2020. There’s no honor in holding them to like 24 point if it’s in a loss. Just FYI.

 

[TomPatriot]

Why does it always look so easy for other teams to score and it's like a struggle for the Pats ?

Roster speed and athleticism

 

[mnpatfan]

3rd and 24 from the 27.

What do you expect them to do? The Chiefs will have 7 guys back there.

That's when 80:20 Parker shines... at least that's what he said.

Dugger has given up. Not the first time I’ve seen him jogging around and missing tackles.

Bentley looks to be packing it in rn as well.

 

[Ian]

Not an ideal sequence there. Obviously, defense wasn't going to pitch a shutout. Have to hope Zappe keeps it going on this possession.

great undisciplined play, **** Bill

April can’t come quick enough. Snow gone, draft arrives, etc…

 

[Ian]

A little Pharaoh Brown...I like it.

 

[farn]

Pharaoh : he’s not going to wow you, but I’d be happy with a return in 2024.

 

[VJCPatriot]

Belichick's handling of every aspect of special teams - reaching in the draft and with FAs, as well as the horrible play of that unit - is the biggest indictment of Belichick. Just an embarrassment.

And the most infuriating part is we already had a great kicker and BB got rid of him!

Nick Folk has made 26 out of his 27 kicks for the Titans for a 96% make rate! And you know there's cold weather out in Tennessee.

This was a move backwards at the K position by BB!

And don't try to make a salary argument, Folk only got paid a 2 year 5m dollar contract in free agency.

The other team has better players?

More concerned with BOB's playcalling than Zap's execution.

 

[Ross12]

They shredded us on the last drive as well and a penalty pushed them back too.

What penalty?

 

[RIpats88]

Why not run there?

 

[Schmo]

A little Pharaoh Brown...I like it.

He's been a great pickup

 

[holyredeemer]

Zap has been really slinging it into some tight windows. Receivers not named Douglas are having issues gaining separation but he’s still finding a way to get it in there.

 

[TomPatriot]

Go for it!!
